This is an abridged form of a letter that I wrote years ago to a person in Europe who wanted to know what to do about the Union’s plan to oppose the spread of the Biblical World-view. I think it would be a good idea for Christians, no matter what their country, to consider what we ought to do in a day when the ungodly join hand in hand, and even the leaders of our own government are pushing to remove exposure to the Bible and foundational principles. Leaders, educators, and every citizen should be made aware of the following facts (sadly many Christians do not realize these):
#1 EVOLUTIONISM IS A DECEPTIVE & DANGEROUS RELIGION, NOT SCIENCE!
There are numerous flaws of evolutionary thinking that are used in this attempt to counteract creation and the Bible. For instance, a major problem lies in the fact that they do not recognize that Evolutionism is also a belief system (For more on this, read my earlier blog, Evolutionism Isn’t Science):
It takes more faith to believe in evolution, than in creation.
I believe that the evidence for creation is so strong, that (according to Romans 1:20) those who reject the Creator and Savior of mankind “are without excuse.” Both Creation and Evolutionism are based on faith. When you look at real science, it actually agrees much better with the Scriptures than Evolutionism. But the followers of Evolution lie and claim their viewpoint is actually science. How ludicrous to say that matter made itself. God tells us He made the universe.
Most of the branches of science that we study today were founded by men who believed in Creation. Additionally, there are many scientists today that also believe in a young earth creation and the Bible. You can look for information on this at www.icr.org and www.answersingenesis.org.
#2 MANY PEOPLE HAVE AN ULTERIOR MOTIVE FOR EMBRACING EVOLUTIONISM!
It has been said that no real scientist would reject creation if it was a reasonable theory. So let’s look at Sir Julian Huxley. He was a grandson of Thomas Huxley,) who is called “Darwin’s bulldog.” Thomas was Darwin’s biggest promoter.
Sir Julian was a biologist, and a world leader in promoting evolution ideals. Don’t you think with that background, he’d have an idea of what he was talking about? The year he died (1975), he was asked in a TV interview, “Why have so many scientists been so quick to adopt Darwin’s theory of evolution?”
Rather than respond with a scientific evidence or logical argument, Sir Julian replied, “The reason we scientists all jumped at The Origin of Species was because the idea of God interfered with our sexual mores.” The source for this quote is called The Collapse of Evolution, by Scott M. Huse pg.157
Julian’s brother Alduous has a very similar quote in pg.270 of his book Ends and Means, “I had a motive for not wanting the world to have a meaning…For myself, the philosophy of meaninglessness was essentially an instrument of liberation, sexual and political.” You can look up the whole quote.
It is a good question. If there is no Creator, where do we find the standard of what is right and what is wrong?
#3 MOST PEOPLE TODAY ARE GETTING INDOCTRINATED–NOT EDUCATED—ABOUT EVOLUTIONISM!
How big the world is can be shown through measurement and science. But evolution is not proven. The fact that the universe has all its stars, comets and galaxies punctures a hole in the “big bang.” If the theory calls for the matter (which they say was Hydrogen and Helium) to disperse evenly, there should be no clumps of anything according to Boyle’s gas laws. No planets, comets, galaxies, stars, earth, etc. This is a big problem for the “big bang.” Evolution struggles against the laws of science. If only they would realize: “There are laws; there must be a Lawgiver!”
Let’s take a closer look at organic evolution: Evolutionists have a problem when it comes to life…
They believe that non-living matter can become living. This was a common belief in the days of Darwin. It was considered that flies spontaneously come from rotten meat, and that rats will arise from piles of dirty rags. But Louis Pasteur, a great scientist in biology and microbiology as well as other men of science disproved that belief. Life comes from life.
Today in public schools, he is lauded and applauded. Spontaneous generation was proven false, the students are told. Then they are taught that spontaneous generation DID happen millions of years ago. Why should we think that something impossible now was possible then? How does that follow scientific reasoning? And they don’t let the students know that Louis Pasteur believed in creation as stated in Scripture and believed on Jesus as Saviour from sin. Pasteur vehemently opposed Darwin’s theory, as did many other great men of science, including his friend Henri Fabre, the “Father of Entomology (study of insects).”
George Wald, an evolutionist and Nobel Prize winner, made this confession:
“I will not accept that [Creation] philosophically, because I do not want to believe in God. Therefore, I choose to believe in that which I know is scientifically impossible, spontaneous generation arising to evolution.”
To be educated, you should look at both sides of the issue and make a wise choice of what to believe. Most people in the world are only exposed to the Evolution viewpoint, and thus are not truly educated. They are indoctrinated, which is different. I believe that when you look at science, it actually points to the accuracy of God’s Word. Louis Pasteur, this man through whose research (in diseases and immunization) hundreds of thousands of lives have been saved, said of science, “A little science estranges men from God, but much science brings them back to God.”
#4 PEOPLE DECEIVED BY EVOLUTIONISM ARE LIKELY TO GET FOOLED IN OTHER AREAS!
Now, we must understand that the world’s system’s stance against Creation and the Bible is not new. There has been a long war against the Creator. People do not want to answer to God, so they deceive themselves and others into thinking there is no Creator (Romans 1:20-22). They get fooled into thinking that:
* – Evolution is part of science.
* – The Bible is not to be considered for public policy.
* – Evolution is needed to be able to fight disease, etc. (how ridiculous!)
* – That real scientists do not believe in creation as stated in the Bible.
* – Christian fundamentalists are dangerous to society.
* – The Bible does not have the answers.
SO, WHAT CAN WE DO?
The best way to get armed in this form of battle is to make sure YOU are ready:
1. Make sure you know the Creator, Jesus Christ (John 1:1-3,12) as your Savior from sin (John 6:47).
2. Stay close to Him, spending daily time in prayer and Bible study. Wisdom comes to those who ask God for it (James 1:5) and search His Word (Psalm 119:98).
Follow the instruction of Psalm 1.
Walk with godly friends (Proverbs 13:20).
Be an example to those around you (I Timothy 4:12).
3. Pray for those who are leaders in your country and in the educational boards, as well as all other people (I Timothy 2:1-8).
4. Equip yourself with knowledge about the controversy. Get good books and videos so you can learn, so that you can share (II Timothy 2:2). You can order many tools from us, if you like. Here are just a couple.
5. What country are you in? It is your duty to make known your stand with those who hold office above you. That is true, no matter what nation you are in. Evil prevails when good men do nothing. The leaders need to know what their people think. If nobody calls, or voices their opinion, the official will think everyone agrees with the said platform. Either that or he/she will believe the public don’t think it is that important.
God is looking for someone to stand in the gap (Ezekiel 22:30). Will you be that man? Do what you can for your own nation. Keep up with your congressmen, get to know them, pray for them, share information with them, show proper Christian respect, and keep them accountable.
6. Speak out. Share with all you can about the truth that evolutionism is actually not science but a religious world view, and let them know about evidence of creation and the Bible. Give them places they can learn for themselves (for example on the web:
www.drdino.com, www.icr.org, www.answersingenesis.org).
Evolutionists, government leaders, etc., are not necessarily the enemy (though they may be working for him). Have as your goal to introduce people to the truth so they will turn to the Creator and be saved from Hell. If one is saved, it is a great victory!
Jesus said to “Occupy till I come.” How are you doing? Are you winning souls? Are you fulfilling the responsibilities God has entrusted to you as a citizen? Are you sharing the truth so people will not go on, beguiled to believe that Evolution is science?
You may be only one, but you are one. You cannot do everything, but you can do something. What you can do, you should do. Will you do your duty with God’s help? (adapted from Evertt Hale’s great quote)

There is still time to win a battle before the sun goes down.
